Chattanooga Times: A curious
dish was prepared the other day for
a British traveller in Mexico. The
attendants served up an omelet, and
the servants partook very heartily
of the dainty morsel, but the travel
er mistrusted the food owing to Ger
tain black PARTICLES mixed therein.
Inquiring TO the nature of the GUS
picions ingredients, he could scarce
ly believe his ears when the reply
was given: sob, those are scor-

this TO be true, the lower order in

The Daily Morning Straddler"
of Nashville, trying to keep on
both sides of every question, came
out last Friday with a Eoluminous
editorial on the Gambler Abbott
episode, "crawfishing" on its first
editorial on that subject, Mondays,
which was, to say the least of it,
constructively comme1datory OF
Miss Abbott.
Its "straddle," not having been
quite as successful as usual and it
having allowed in its columns q
criticism on Mr.. Csndler's con
duct by one whom it's editor pub
lished as ian eminent divine" but
whose name he withheld, the bright
young man who poses as a light to
tighten the gentiles generally,
"'got on his ear" about it and said
some ugly things in the Banner
because eminent divine's" name
was withheld and "the newspapers
criticise ME adversely" on account
of the Americans press report
sent abroad.) In consequence OF
which the venerable editor very
gently patted him on the head
Saturday, telling him ''to keep
your shirt on, sonny" as it were, in
an editorial of over a column. We
hope he will act on the colonePs al
vice land not make a spectacle OF
himself to any greater extent than
he has already done.
Mr. Gambler is a bright man and
The CITIZEN heartily endorsed his
position IN this matter as to the
sermon and the church episode. He
is also quite young man and an
overweening sense of selfconscions
ness probably makes him thin
skinned and sensitive. Every time
ANYBODY crooks fngephe thinks
"Big Me" Is meant, seemingly de
lights to amble round wishing people
to knock a chip off his shoulder
wanting to 'spute. He we will gel
over this after a while because he
will grow older. His friends can
console themselves with the retiec-
ton that no fault is SO venial and
none so radically and SO inevitably
cured as mere lack of years
When he does reach this latter
state he will have a surprisingly
clear appreciation of what Ham

Majority against

The Shelbyyille correspondent in

mense crowd gathered there to see
the presidents train pass were dis
appointed ana got ma, because the
train went by at a 40-mile an hour
rate and ''laid the blame Of the
whole matter on President Cleye-
land" Why, bless your ignorant
souls, greeny. President Cleveland
was not the engineer and conductor
of that train. Besides, the prtsi-

straight and narrow path that does
not lead to eternal damnation.

The brilliant though misguided
young prevaricator, who edits 3
paper called the National LittletoD

gall vituperates Mr.. Gambler for the
Abbott episode, saying in effect, it
is evident Mr.. Gambler never at
tended anything but variety show
and consequently is not capacita-
ted to criticlse the legitimate dra-
ma. OF course he lies.

Because a man is a martyr, or
posing SIS one, desires to be SO Con-
sidered, proves nothing beyong the
fact that he Is not a coward, in the
cant of the day, that che has the
courage of his convictions" or else,
that he understands his game and
is playing for the stake, so t.
speak. 1t certainly does not prove
that he is neither q fanatic nor 8
8 fool. He frequently is both and
generally is the former. And ne
martyrdom ever yet proved per 81
that the martyrdom was right.

evil tempered nor given to wrang-
ling, no stirer up Of broils, not win
